Trail Blazes

Every section of trail along the Haw River Trail in Alamance County is blazed to ensure the safety of hikers on the trail. Haw River Trail blazes are diamond-shaped and blue with white in color, with the HRT logo in the center. Each blaze is marked with a four digit code that allows emergency responders to find the precise location of hikers in the event of an emergency. Mountains-to-Sea Trail blazes are white circles and may appear with HRT blazes.

If you are in need of emergency assistance, dial 911 and report the four digit code on the nearest trail blaze to the operator.
